Description of a short-term Taxol®-induced nociceptive neuropathy in rats

Abstract

This work describes a new animal model of neuropathic pain produced by the single intraperitoneal administration of Taxol (32 mg/kg) to male Sprague-Dawley rats. During the course of the experiment, the clinical status of the rats remained satisfactory and motor function was not altered. A number of classical behavioural tests of nociception as well as histological and electrophysiological investigations were performed. Taxol administration produced an important and rapidly developing mechanical hyperalgesia, a thermal hypoalgesia but no mechanical or thermal allodynia. Degenerative changes were observed in the sciatic nerve, the nerve fibres in the paw subcutaneous tissue and in the lumbar spinal cord. When Taxol or vehicle (a mix of Cremophor and ethanol) were repeatedly injected once a week for 5 weeks, similar nociceptive disorders were observed in addition to a decrease in peripheral nerve conduction velocity. The selective dysfunction of high-diameter myelinated fibres observed after one single administration of Taxol (32 mg/kg) may be attributable to paclitaxel-induced neuropathy, however other mechanisms causing neurochemical dysfunction must also be involved.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
